Atos Origin is a leading solutions provider for corporate and investment banking (CIB)

Its ‘design, build and operate’ model means that it can address all aspects of turning client vision in results. Our clients face a number of key business issues which we target with our solutions. These issues are:

• The traditional model for CIB is broken. Business operations have grown up such that today, complexity is the norm. Yet on commodity products, margins are reducing creating an inevitable pressure on profitability.
• Compliance and regulation, more than ever, CIB organizations face compliance issues requiring them to embed controls consistently across their organization, to know the customer as never before and to manage risk at a micro level.
• The need to run cost effective organizations thus driving merger and acquisition activity and outsourcing.

To service our clients we have the capability to deliver to the financial services industry with dedicated staff based in France, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and UK. These industry specialists are supported by the full capabilities of the Atos Origin organization to deliver anywhere in the world.
